[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering that the benchmark rate of disabilities disgnosed in DC is supposed to be around 8.5%, 25% seems way too high! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a2af8a0f14aa1cbbcf14079/t/5a733acf652dea8a7edb13f5/1517501136295/Corrected+Memorandum+Opinion+%26++Findings+of+Fact+and+Conclusions+of+Law%2C+dated+June+21%2C+2016.pdf[/quote] That benchmark is heavily influenced by resource availability. [/quote] I'm sorry, there's really nothing you can do to convince me that 25% of students who have gained admission to highly selective SLACS have suddenly developed learning disabilities. It just does not make sense. I say this as a mother of a child with an actual IEP. [/quote] Hence the argument that there is a lot of wealthy people gaming the system. At my DCs private prep school where tuition is $50k plus, there are a LOT of accomodations - around 20%-25%[/quote]
